[Elecraft] K3 Transmitting CW in SSB mode

[Phil Hystad]

I have my K3 enabled to allow the sending of CW in SSB mode.  However, I am not sure how this actually works.  Therefore, this question.

If the K3 VFO is dialed into 3850 KHz (for example) and the mode is set to SSB and my sidetone monitor of the CW signal is set to 700 Hz (not sure if this matters), what will the other station here if I send something in CW while in SSB mode on my K3.  In particular:

1.  They are also dialed into the same frequency 3850 KHz, what will they hear: a tone of 700 Hz, a tone of some other audio frequency, or no tone at all.  My only assumption is that they are in SSB mode and dialed to the same frequency as I am.


2.  They (the other station) are dialed into the same frequency of 3850 but their mode is CW and not SSB while my mode in sending is still SSB.  Same questions, what will they hear?

Thanks,
